Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School is a modern orthodox Jewish primary school that promotes educational excellence for all pupils, a commitment to orthodox Jewish practice, a love of and commitment to Israel, and active involvement within the Jewish community, the British community, and the wider world. Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School is a Finchley success story. It was the brainchild of several Finchley families who recognized both the need for a new type of modern orthodox school and to have a local Jewish school serving the demands of the Kinloss community. The school opened in 2008 with just seven pupils and was housed in both Moss Hall and the Finchley United Synagogue before moving in 2013 to its new site in Stanhope Road, North Finchley. It was initially a private school but became a voluntary aided school in 2013 under Barnet Local Authority. Sacks Morasha has grown in popularity and reputation and now has over 200 pupils. The school has always prided itself on being a nurturing and warm community school, passionate about achieving excellent results in both Chol (secular) and Kodesh (Jewish) studies. It is a school that recognizes the importance of being part of the wider and global communities. We pride ourselves on our innovative approach to education, integrating where possible between Chol and Kodesh to provide meaningful links between the two subjects. Passionate about educational excellence, we seek and achieve high standards in both secular and Jewish studies (Limmudei Kodesh). We are committed to our children reaching their potential in an atmosphere that encourages engagement with Torah values, Ivrit, and the state of Israel. Our name honors Lord Sacks, the former Chief Rabbi, and 'Morasha' means legacy the school aims to be a source of immense pride to the community, passing on Jewish values as a living inheritance to our children.
